Manhattan

The island of Manhattan encompasses 22.7 square miles in area - runs 13.4 miles long, 2.3 wide - and has 319 public schools. From Chinatown to Washington Heights, the distinct neighborhoods and people that make up this great borough present unique strengths and diversity of artistic experiences. Manhattan is home to multiple world renowned cultural institutions and performing arts organizations. Simultaneously, it presents the opportunity for many smaller and younger arts organizations to flourish and grow. We work closely with school leaders to help meet their individual needs and help to take advantage of all the amazing artistic resources and opportunities right around their corner.

Alongside the Manhattan Borough Arts team is the Manhattan Borough Field Support Center, an initiative from Strong Schools, Strong Communities; their website can be found here.
